Growing up with cerebral palsy and relying on a power wheelchair to get around was just a normal part of life. Author Lauren Shipman’s parents and older siblings never made her feel left out; they pushed her to get out of her comfort zone. Lauren’s can-do attitude and "just do it" motto have empowered her to live life to the fullest and seek new and challenging adventures.

Lauren has Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts from Neumann University with a minor in psychology. She continues to pursue her dream job in the childcare sector where she hopes to inspire young children to learn, grow, and explore the world around them. Lauren also plays a pivotal role in helping train students in healthcare professions through simulated patient encounters. She enjoys spending time with family, exercising, giving motivational speeches, and participating in adaptive sports. Lauren is not one to still!

Lauren lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania with her parents. She is the proud aunt of a niece and three nephews.
